Factual narrative
THE TAKEOFF WAS INITIATED DOWNWIND ON RUNWAY 36, WHICH WAS 8544 FT LONG AND WAS WET. THE FIELD ELEVATION WAS 6264 FT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS OBSERVED BY TOWER PERSONNEL TO ROTATE ABOUT 3000 FT DOWN THE RUNWAY, THEN CLIMB TO ABOUT 50 FT AGL. THE PILOT ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT CLIMBING WELL. THE TOUCHDOWN WAS MADE WITH APPROXIMATELY 2000 FT OF RUNWAY REMAINING, BUT THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN THE REMAINING DISTANCE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A SNOWBANK. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
